[I-D.ietf-mpls-ldp-multi-topology] has been proposed to provide unicast forwarding in the MRT FRR architecture. This informational draft is to provide the analysis of the applicability of LDP MT for MRT FRR Procedures of LDP MT using for unicast MRT FRR All possible scenarios are analyzed and typical examples are provided. Applicability guidance is provided. draft-li-rtgwg-igp-ext-mrt-frr-00IETF 85 RTGWG3 Procedures Routing Calculation: Consistency of all nodes in the network is the most important. Label Distribution: LDP will advertise label mapping message with corresponding MT-ID for the specific FEC. There are at least three label bindings for each FEC that are associated with default topology, red topology and blue topology. Forwarding Entry Creation: The route calculated based on MRT determines which label binding should be chosen for each FEC in a specific topology. There is not any MT information which should be processed in the forwarding plane. Switchover and Re-Convergence: The traffic switches when failure happens. The micro-loop may be produced during the course of re- convergence. Switchback: IGP-LDP synchronization can also be used for the default topology to prevent traffic loss. draft-li-rtgwg-igp-ext-mrt-frr-00IETF 85 RTGWG4 Considerations MRT MT-ID and LDP-MT ID Consistency: The MRT MT-ID used in IGP is not for routing but just for forwarding and the application to use MRT results, so the applications (LDP-MT) MRT MT-ID should be same with IGP. Multiple IGP: Multiple IGPs deploy in one network. It is highly desirable that in one network only one IGP protocol is deployed. Policy Control: Policy can be used to reducing labels usage for MRT FRR. For multi-service network based on VPN, policy can be applied to permit only host addresses to setup LSPs in the default topology. Policy is not recommended to control on LSP in the blue topology and the red topology draft-li-rtgwg-igp-ext-mrt-frr-00IETF 85 RTGWG5 Scenarios (1) 2-Connected Network: Detailed example shows how LDP MT works for MRT FRR and how tie-breaking policy works. Non-2-Connected Network: Highlights how label forwarding entry installs for cut-vertex. Proxy Node: Difference between two scenarios are identified. Inter-Area and Inter-AS: End-to-end LSPs Partial Deployment: Proxy egress LSPs IP-Only Network: It is recommended that LDP MT should be deployed incrementally for the fast-reroute usage draft-li-rtgwg-igp-ext-mrt-frr-00IETF 85 RTGWG6 Scenarios (2) LDP over TE [D]--[C]--[I]--[H]--[G] | | \ / | | [R] | [J] | | | | / \ | | [A]--[B]--[K]--[E]--[F] (a) Default Topology [D]--[C] [H]--[G] [D]--[C]======[H]--[G] | | \ / | | | | \\ // | | [R] | [Proxy] [Proxy] | | [R] | \\ | | | | / \ | | | | //\\ | | [A]--[B] [E]--[F] [A]--[B]======[E]--[F] (b) Graph I for MRT Computation (c) Graph II for MRT Computation draft-li-rtgwg-igp-ext-mrt-frr-00IETF 85 RTGWG7 2-Connected Network Example draft-li-rtgwg-igp-ext-mrt-frr-00IETF 85 RTGWG8 2-Connected Network Example (cont) draft-li-rtgwg-igp-ext-mrt-frr-00IETF 85 RTGWG9 2-Connected Network Example (cont) draft-li-rtgwg-igp-ext-mrt-frr-00IETF 85 RTGWG10 2-Connected Network Example (cont) draft-li-rtgwg-igp-ext-mrt-frr-00IETF 85 RTGWG11 2-Connected Network Example (cont) draft-li-rtgwg-igp-ext-mrt-frr-00IETF 85 RTGWG12 2-Connected Network Example (cont) draft-li-rtgwg-igp-ext-mrt-frr-00IETF 85 RTGWG13 Summary LDP MT can work well in different scenarios for MRT FRR. When LDP MT is combined with MRT FRR, follow advantages can be proposed: Simplify operation and management with few additional configurations and states introduced. Inherit procedures of LDP to achieve high scalability Propose no additional change on label forwarding behavior in the forwarding plane to facilitate incremental deployment draft-li-rtgwg-igp-ext-mrt-frr-00IETF 85 RTGWG14 Next Steps Get comments on mailing list More scenarios will be taken into account.
